About me

Wiki life I joined Wikipedia in May 23rd, 2007 and at first, just read articles, and corrected a few. I discovered an as-of-then unknown fauna on wiki, A WikiGoon. Then I found out about Lupin's fabulous Anti-Vandal tool , that started me on my life as a vandal buster/biter. These days I spend more time on AN, ANI, BLP boards, and occasionaly the Arbcom board. Real life I'm a Linux Geek, running OpenSuse 12.3 (at the moment ) and Kali (for security/pen testing purposes) and Windows via VmWare only. I've been running Linux since MS-Winblows took over DOS (yeah, I'm THAT old - in fact, I'm so OLD, my first video games were debug and Edlin!  :) ) I'm also a performing musician (keyboards and voice) and have done occasional voice-overs. I totally admit to being tenacious, it's my best and worst quality (as the sysops will attest to! ). I also believe the polices are meant to be enforced as written, (in other words, they mean what they say and say what they mean ).
